Chillicothe

Don't know a lot about Chilli, other than the Maughmer? kid is the real deal. Any posters' opinions would be appreciated!
I KNOW Coach Morrow will have these kids ready to go. If the Ironmen can knock down a few shots from the perimeter, they can play enough defense to pull the upset!!!

Chillicothe by 25-30 points. Jackson with no chance.

Chillicothe doesn't put up a ton of points, but plays really good defense and has a couple of guys who can put 20 on you.

Jackson has made huge strides this year, but this is a really tough matchup for them.

Jackson has to hit 5+ 3's and rebound well. Tough matchup but Jackson has played VC, Meigs, Waverly, Wheelersburg tightly....they can make it very interesting.

This game will be closer than many think. Jackson has improved over this season. Chilly only has 1 real threat and if he's off this could get interesting. I still think chilly gets the "w" but it will be within 10

Seth Barnes is very much a threat for the Cavaliers as well. He's averaging about 13 a game and has 2-3 games this year where he has scored 20+. Don't sleep on him or he'll go off.

Chilly by 15+. Terrible match up for them

By them, I mean Jackson

Maughmer the qb also right? Must be a great all around athlete.

Yes he is. Good kid too.

I have seen both teams play a couple times. One common opponent and that was Vinton county.
The second time Jackson played them.

I think the cavs are the favorite looking at overall strength of schedule.
With that being said I do think Jackson will make this a very interesting game with their style of play. They have a tendency to take a team out of their normal rhythm and keep the game at their pace.

I also think this will be a tight game and not shocked if it comes down to the last couple of minutes.
This time of year it doesn't matter if you win by one point or in a blowout you are advancing.
A moral victory only means you are turning your stuff in.

I don't see Chillicothe blowing out Jackson. Jackson can make any game close with their tough defense & slower tempo on offense.

If Jackson can knock down some shots, I can see them pulling the upset. Going to need a near flawless game to do that though.

agreed !

Jackson needs to find out when they can slow the game down to catch their second wind. If they can do this they might pull the upset.

Cavaliers beat their cross town rival and pfloyd top 8 by 26 tonight on the road. CAVS are playing great TEAM ball right now. This one might get ugly.

Hmmmm can't say that tonight Lol
Cavs big over Jackson

Chillicothe is definitely the favorite.. but Jackson will ugly this game up and limit possessions.. if they can shoot a decent percentage should be close

I would be very surprised if this game came down to the last few possessions. Chillicothe had lost a little momentum after playing Upper Arlington and that lingered into the game at Miami Trace where they lost in overtime. Last night was the prescription as Unioto was the recipient of Chillicothe putting it all together--/ especially in the second half.

Chillicothe is a different team than the one who played before Christmas. I think the Pick Central game was the beginning followed by The Wilmington win.

I truly believe this is a game where Chillicothe leads most of the way and slowly but surely pulls away

58-43 Cavs.
